Every photo in this Golfito fishing gallery was taken aboard The Magic I, our charter boat. No stock images, ever. Inshore, in the sheltered waters of the Golfo Dulce, you'll see roosterfish with their crests flared, cubera snapper, pargo and bluefin trevally. Offshore, in the blue water of Costa Rica's South Pacific, it's sailfish released boatside, yellowfin tuna and big mahi-mahi (dorado).
The rest is life on the boat: the captain and mate at work, guests fighting fish off the stern, golden-hour casting along the jungle coastline and fresh tropical fruit served aboard. Open any photo to see it full size, then plan your own day on the water: an inshore fishing trip, an offshore fishing trip or a private charter.
